CANCER – “THE ARTFUL DODGER”

CANCER – “THE ARTFUL DODGER”

The cure for Cancer will only come by better understanding it, so lets look at some Cancer traits which help it to establish its roots, to branch out and to grow uncontrollably. Research shows Cancer does this by:

Evading the immune system

Genetic reprogramming of cellular metabolism – switching to glycolosis to make energy

Adapting to it’s ever changing environment

Becoming ‘Drug Resistant’, whereby some therapies no longer work

Adaptive ability to thrive on ‘Cancer Modulating Drugs’ to the point of ‘addiction’

Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes

Disables Signalling Pathways and Networks

Immortality and rapid cell division

Creating it’s own micro-environment and blood supply

We will tackle each of these traits in following blogs, essentially to better understand each trait so as to expose it’s deceptive ways, hopefully leading us to feel more in control and ready to ‘fight the fight‘ on our journey of discovery and cancer healing.
